Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (10th Gen,
2022)

The X1 series is
undoubtedly the crown jewel in ThinkPad’s crown, which is, in turn, the brand
that solidified Lenovo’s place in the corporate laptop market.

Their devices have
been some of the best, providing efficiency, performance, stability, and
security, which are essential in the business field.

The X1 sub-brand
offers the most premium of ThinkPads, which utilize premium materials like
aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, leather, and are constantly on the lookout
for the next big thing in laptop design.

The X1 Carbon presents
a light and powerful series of notebooks, with the latest hardware from Intel.
Today we are comparing the 10th Gen X1 Carbon against its predecessor, to see
what are the differences.

For starters, we have
to take a look at the design, where we see no noticeable changes. The laptop
still comes with a black exterior that uses carbon fiber for the lid and
magnesium alloy for the base, resulting in some of the lightest 14-inch
notebooks on the market. There is an optional Carbon fiber weave cover for the
lid, otherwise, the material comes painted in black. As always with Lenovo
products, branding is limited, with a ThinkPad X1 logo and small Lenovo
wordmarks on the lid and base.

The display choices
from the Gen 9 laptop are available on Gen 10 as well, along with an additional
IPS panel with a 2.2K resolution.

In terms of hardware,
the Tiger lake U-series processors, which kicked Intel back into relevance and
provided good performance and power efficiency are replaced by Alder Lake
U-series and P-series chips. They have a TDP cap of 15W and 28W, respectively.

The U-series bring
more Efficiency than Performance cores, which might be a problem if they have
to perform heavily. With the laptop bringing both U-series and P-series chips,
Lenovo also needs to provide good cooling, to satisfy the needs of both in a
laptop of this size.

The GPU choices stay
the same with the Iris Xe Graphics G7 being available on both. These are great
for productivity on the go while also having enough performance for some light
and casual gaming.
